Never thought I’d ever buy a prop plane module for #DCS but here we are. The new #F4U #Corsair, which has been in development for the better part of a decade, is finally here for us to enjoy.
Took off from a carrier and flew around Guam 1944 in the mission editor. The plane flies nice and is surprisingly stable when fully laden. It has a stronger roll moment compared to the TF-51 due to that giant propeller so some rudder trim is definitely in order. Speaking of, the rudder is a bit twitchy so I added a curve to help smooth it out. Haven’t figured out how to fine the cannons or rockets yet but releasing those two giant rockets is wild. They rock the whole aircraft coming off the rail and make a satisfying explosion.
Worth the price? For me it is but that’s for you to determine really. I only got into DCS last year so my time waiting for it was relatively short. Definitely interested to see one of these up against some Zeroes or a MiG-15.
Nice documentary on Jesse L Brown from the University of Central Florida in 2008.
